You are a leader with big plans – for the animals, for your organization, for your career. You know where you want to get, but at times it seems impossible. There must be a better way.

In this workshop, you will discover techniques pivotal to your success, leading you to a completely new level of effectiveness. You will be asked to consider:

What are leadership and management as distinct disciplines?

How can I deliver extraordinary results to fulfill on my organization’s strategic plan?

How can I harness the natural motivations of my people to get outstanding results from them?

You may not be directly involved in your organization’s strategic planning process, but you are motivated to contribute to actualizing this strategy in your work and contribute to your organization’s success.
